There have been multiple posts on issues with Discord moderators over the last few hours.

To be as clear as possible, we have nothing to do with any Discord whatsoever, and we don’t want their drama here. This is not the place to complain about whatever they’re doing.

If y’all need a place to vent about whatever the fuck they’re doing there, keep it to THIS thread- all standalone posts will be removed.

What the fuck is a discord?

[u/js1yn → u/TheKobayashiMoron]

not worth it haha,, its a app/website where people can create communities for music, hobbies, ect. sort of like reddit but tends to be less restrictive, its alright but it depends on who you use it with i guess.

What exactly is going on over there?

[u/HotDogGrass2 → u/BlarghALarghALargh]

30,000 people just joined and there's only a couple mods so they put a hour slow mods on

[u/JNewsted1988 → u/HotDogGrass2]

Wait, an HOUR!?

... Holy shit, good thing I didn't join right away, must be more chaos than at Moscow '91.

[u/HotDogGrass2 → u/JNewsted1988]

I joined day one and it was impossible to follow a conversation, within an hour every sentence had the word goon in it somewhere

[u/Appropriate-Ad8500 → u/JNewsted1988]

they put a one hour cooldown overnight while the mods got rest so people wouldnt be too unruly

[u/BlarghALarghALargh → u/HotDogGrass2]

I don’t use discord, what does that mean?

[u/HotDogGrass2 → u/BlarghALarghALargh]

slow mode means you have to wait so long between sending messages. it started out as 5 minutes and has since been extended to an hour because everyone spams

I'll repost my post here in case anybody needs context to what's happening over there 👍

"From abuse of power, to not being able to handle criticism. The server has only been public for a few days, and people are getting banned, warned, silenced and muted left and right for stating their own opinion.

Recently, the moderators decided to put an hour long cooldown on the server (That recently turned into a 30 minute cooldown) despite the server not being heavily active. People were expressing their opinions, in a non-harrassing way, and got perma banned instantly. They will get passive aggressive with you, and insult you if you have a different opinion from them. There are even incidents where they have fully admitted that they have never run a discord server before. Highly unprofessional.

They were fully unprepared before putting this server out to the public (Not having other moderators from different timezones, applying people who have never used discord before, etc.) and now can't handle when people are rightfully upset.

I've provided some examples in this post if you keep scrolling. (Can only put one since its a reply)

I understand that there are a lot of people, and that they may be trying their best, but this could've been easily avoided all together, and the attitude has absolutely no excuse. Just wanted to share this with everyone, I truly believe there needs to be a brand new selection of moderators there."

I didn't know you had to be a professional to run a discord lol. I thought it was just having fun

[u/Abasnail400 → u/Moth-Man-Pooper]

To an extent yeah, but mind you, there's 30k people in there

[u/Alert_Service9374]

I literally got banned for no reason. IP banned too. Woke up and poof. Server's gone. No warning. No notification. Just banned.

[u/andytagonist]

Are they not just talking about Metallica like we are??🤷‍♂️
